How to Uninstall the Arcsoft programs from my computer

Hello, Arcsoft is a suite of media handling programs. Arcsoft Connect is used for online connection (updates, new goodies etc). It would be odd if you have 'Connect' without any other of their products, so you might want to uninstall those first if they exist In order to remove that from your computer lets try these methods. Method 1: If it is installed into C:\Program Files, you may be able to uninstall it via programs and features.
To do that follow the link provided below. Uninstall or change a program
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Uninstall-or-change-a-program

Method 2: Try disabling the "ArcSoft Connect Daemon" service from Services before you start. To do that you need to follow these steps: 1. Click on start button.
2. Type in services.msc in the search field.
3. Now locate the "ArcSoft Connect Daemon" service and right click on it and select disable. Now reboot the computer and check if the issue gets resolved. Method 3: If the above method doesn't resolve the issue, you may try downloading the windows installer cleanup utility and install it on your computer and try removing the arcsoft program and check for the issue. To do that you need to follow the links provided below. Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility

automatic updates or connect automatically or whatever similar feature you find.

I'm assuming you mean an ArcSoft application/program. I'm also assuming you mean for a Microsoft Windows operating system. If those assumptions are correct. Then simply go to the Control Panel and select Add/Remove Applications. ArcSoft will be listed. Simply select it and choose to uninstall/remove.

If you really want to remove that program,boot into safe mode and use the Windows uninstall program.When in safe mode,only windows loads no other program is allow (by default) when starting.So you should not get that message during the uninstall process.
Hope I've helped,don't forget to rate!!!

Use an uninstaller like http://www.revouninstaller.com/
It will remove every remnant.

this is caused by it corrupting on the registry use xp/vista registry cleaner to solve this and try uninstalling again

I would advise for you to use a program like revo uninstaller that does it all for you.

Its freeware at http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

Hope it helps

All I did was uninstall the program and leave it that way. You shouldn't get anymore of those warnings. If it says that it may affect the way other applications work, just keep going. ArcSoft is not needed and if you really need it, you should re-install it. I tried doing repairs but it doesn't work. just uninstall and get on with your life/.
